 The “operator” will start the car and release it and then grab it and turn it off.
 The “timer” will either use the stopwatch or the metronome and clap their hands or
yell “mark” every second.
 The “marker” will mark the position of the car on the floor with a dry erase marker
every second.
 The “data recorder” will copy the measurements your team makes in the data
tables.
Displacement Δ𝑥=𝑥𝑓−𝑥𝑖 , this will help you figure out if the direction

of the car’s motion is positive or negative.

Metronome: This tick occurs every second. Use this
to mark the car’s position.
